Photographs - 3 of 10
Gustave Le Gray
French, 1820-1882
Brig on the Water
Albumen print from wet-collodion-on-glass negative
32.1 x 41.2 cm
Acquired by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, 1998
Le Gray's Brig on the Water created a sensation when it was first shown in London and Paris at the exhibitions of the Photographic Society and the Société de Photographie in 1856 and 1857. In this image Le Gray appears to have conquered one of the technical shortcomings of early photography, namely, its inability to capture details of landscape and sky in a single exposure. Many contemporary viewers believed that Le Gray had combination printed two separate negatives of sea and sky, as he is now known to have done in several other instances, but the photographer asserted that this seascape was, in fact, made from a single negative. The purely visual evidence of the surviving prints suggest that he was telling the truth.

Free Concert by Victor Hill of Harpsichord Works October 1 at the Clark
For Immediate Release
September 15, 2006
Victor Hill opens the 39th season of his Griffin Hall Concerts at Williams College with a harpsichord recital, held in the auditorium of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, on Sunday, October 1, at 3 pm. Admission is free and open to the public.
The program features two major works of J. S. Bach, the Toccata in C minor and Prelude and Fugue in A minor. In addition, Hill will conclude his complete traversal of the solo and chamber keyboard works of Jean-Philippe Rameau by playing the Suite in G major and G minor, dating from around 1728. Four Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti and a Capriccio by Girolamo Frescobaldi complete the program.
Hill retired on June 30 as Thomas T. Read Professor of Mathematics at Williams, but continues with his college-sponsored concert series and with other musical activities, including his work as archivist, editorial board member, and recordings reviewer for the Association of Anglican Musicians.
He studied harpsichord in Amsterdam with the eminent Dutch harpsichordist Gustav Leonhardt and has played nearly 1000 concerts throughout the United States and in Europe. For this concert he will play the double-manual harpsichord custom-built for him in 1997 by Richard Kingston of Asheville, NC.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $10 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

One of the best ways to encounter the message of the Bible is through its stories. Individual stories speak powerfully, but linking those stories into their larger narrative flow is even stronger. Chronological Bible Storying involves telling biblical stories in the order in which they happened as part of the connected narrative of Scripture. Usually this means beginning with creation and moving sequentially through at least the resurrection of Jesus. CBS has become widely used since the 1980s.
"What's a good Bible story for teaching about _______?" People who have seen the power of biblical stories often want to use them when specific issues arise in their own lives, in a friend's life or in a discussion group. Resources have been developed that identify biblical stories that relate to specific topics or groups of topics. These suggestions may be just what you need. If not, they may stimulate your own search in the Bible for even better options.
In a YouTube world, films have wide appeal. Where direct gospel presentations get little hearing, a film can open the way for spiritual conversations. In just a few minutes short films can introduce universal themes in a visually engaging way and provide opportunities for Christians to discuss those themes from a biblical standpoint. Short films can be shown on large screens or smart phones, in theatres or while sitting with friends in a café. Digital, visual storytelling is used to spark spiritual conversations around the world.
Many wonder what it would have been like if they were in the crowd watching Moses part the Red Sea, or looking up the hill as Jesus was being hung on the cross. Although society will never be able to develop a time machine, many filmmakers continue to present Bible stories on video in order to bring them more to life. It might just be the closest thing people have to actually being there.
Surprisingly, Deaf communities are like oral cultures. Both prefer face-to-face communication and use concrete-relational patterns of thinking. Each has a strong group orientation. Both use storytelling extensively and written materials sparingly. Bible stories in sign language, told live and via video, have strong appeal to many Deaf people.
Although oral cultures frequently make little or no use of written or printed materials, they have a strong visual orientation. They pay close attention to the world around them, including the visual arts. Some oral cultures have ancient and sophisticated visual art traditions that convey their history, values, beliefs and practices. A small but growing movement seeks to understand these visual art traditions as a window into understanding cultures and as a means of communicating the Christian message.
"Even if a log soaks a long time in water, it will never become a crocodile." This Wolof proverb was used to remind people that just attending religious activities does not make a person righteous. Oral cultures use proverbs extensively as a storehouse of hard-won wisdom. Proverbs are compact and vivid, so they ease the load on oral people's memories. Proverbs distill the lessons of many past stories; they enable people to predict the outcomes of stories yet to be experienced.
Radio is one of the most well known media for broadcasting information to a wide audience. It has proven itself time after time as an effective tool for communicating to oral cultures and has made information, stories and dramas accessible in even the remotest of locations.

Soleil Moon Frye, fondly remembered as the title character in the 1980s sitcom "Punky Brewster," celebrates her 37th birthday on Aug. 6. Find out where she and other '80s child stars are today.
Frye has continued to act over the years, including a recurring role in "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch," and keeps busy with voice work, including "Bratz," "Robot Chicken" and "Planet Sheen." In 2011, she released her first book "Happy Chaos: From Punky to Parenting and My Perfectly Imperfect Adventures in Between."
Emmanuel Lewis starred in the sitcom "Webster" as little Webster Long, an orphaned boy who is adopted by his retired NFL player godfather and his new socialite wife.
Lewis' career slowed after "Webster." He appeared as himself in "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star" and in 2007 he was in "Kickin It Old Skool" (pictured) and the reality TV series "The Surreal Life: Fame Games."
We first got to know Corey Feldman in the movies "Stand By Me" (pictured), "The Lost Boys," "Gremlins" and "License To Drive."
Unlike many child actors, he's found steady work as an actor and has appeared in more than 80 films in his career.
Feldman's seemingly constant co-star throughout the 1980s -- so much so that they earned the nickname "The Two Coreys" -- was Corey Haim. The two starred together in "License to Drive," "The Lost Boys," "Dream a Little Dream" and several more. Haim also starred in movies like "Silver Bullet" and "Lucas."
His career derailed by drug problems, Haim made a slight comeback in the mid-2000s, including a reality show with Feldman called "The Two Coreys." He also starred alongside Jason Statham, Amy Smart and Dwight Yoakam in 2009's "Crank: High Voltage," but continued to battle an addiction to prescription pain killers. He ended up dying at age 38 on March 10, 2010, due to pneumonia.
One of Feldman's co-stars in "Stand By Me" was Wil Wheaton, who went on to star in the series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" starting in 1987.
After leaving "Star Trek: The Next Generation," Wheaton he took some time off to work in personal video production and took acting classes before re-entering the world of acting. He's since made numerous appearances on TV shows, including a recurring role playing himself on "The Big Bang Theory," as well as roles on "Numb3rs," "Criminal Minds," "Leverage," "Eureka" and the web series "The Guild." He also runs his own weblog, Wil Wheaton Dot Net, contributes to several other blogs and has published several books.
Tracey Gold became a popular teen star in the 1980s playing Carol Seaver (at left) on the hit sitcom "Growing Pains."
Through much of that time, Gold battled anorexia, which she has since conquered. She starred in a 1994 TV movie about the subject, "For The Love Of Nancy." More recently, she appeared on a January 2012 episode of the reality TV show "Celebrity Wife Swap," trading places with singer Carnie Wilson for a week. She also returned to sitcoms with an appearance on the show "Melissa & Joey" in a July 2013 episode titled "Something Happened."
Kirk Cameron also starred in the sitcom "Growing Pains" as teen heartthrob Mike Seaver (second from right).
Cameron became an active Christian evangelist and portrays Cameron "Buck" Williams in the "Left Behind" film series.
Mackenzie Phillips starred as boy-crazy teenager Julie Cooper Horvath (left) on "One Day At A Time."
However, she was eventually fired from the show in 1980 because of drug and alcohol abuse. In her 2009 autobiography "High on Arrival," she claimed she had a decade-long incestuous relationship with her father, John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, who had also got her addicted to cocaine. She appeared on the third season of "Celebrity Rehab" in 2010. She was a regular on the 1999-2001 Disney Channel sci-fi series "So Weird" and has had cameo roles in TV shows like "Without a Trace," "NYPD Blue," "Cold Case" and "Criminal Minds."
Gary Coleman starred as one of the most memorable TV kids ever -- Arnold Jackson on "Diff'rent Strokes." His "Whatcha talking about, Willis?" catchphrase became a part of American culture.
But Coleman had financial troubles later in life. In a TV interview, he said he had attempted suicide twice. He also had numerous health issues and died of an epidural hematoma in 2010.
Keshia Knight Pulliam played Rudy Huxtable on the sitcom "The Cosby Show" from 1984 to 1992. In 2008, she joined the cast of Tyler Perry's "House of Payne," which earned her the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series three years in a row between 2008 and 2010.
Ricky Schroeder was everybody's favorite rich kid on the 1982-87 sitcom "Silver Spoons."
Now in his early 40s, Schroeder has shed his childhood image, thanks to roles on "NYPD Blue, "Lonesome Dove," "Scrubs" and "24." In 2010, he guest-starred in an episode of ABC's "No Ordinary Family" and played himself in the comedy "Get Him to the Greek."
But Schroeder wasn't the only child star who appeared on "Silver Spoons." Jason Bateman also appeared on the show and had previously appeared on "Little House on the Prairie" as a 12-year-old.
Today, Bateman, is well known for roles on "Arrested Development" and in movies like "Horrible Bosses," "Up in the Air," "Juno" and "Identity Thief."
Dustin Diamond starred as lovable geek Screech on "Saved By The Bell" from 1989 to 1993 and in several follow-up movies.
He's since found work as a standup comedian. He also was known for selling T-shirts in 2006 in an effort to save his house from foreclosure.
Few people have spent more of their lives in front of cameras than Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. They started their career playing the same character, Michelle Tanner, on "Full House," which ran for eight seasons starting in 1987.
After the show, they began merchandising their image and are now among the richest women in the entertainment industry.
"The Wonder Years" introduced us to Fred Savage from 1988 to 1993. He also played the grandson in "The Princess Bride."
Savage has found more success behind the camera than in front of it as an adult. He now directs and produces TV series, including episodes of "Ugly Betty" and "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia."
The show also featured Danica McKellar as "Winnie Cooper," everybody's favorite girl next door.
McKellar went on to graduate with honors from UCLA with a math degree and has written several books on mathematics. She's also returned to acting, including bit parts on TV and doing voice work for animated shows.
Stacy Ferguson wowed children with her voice from 1984 to 1989 on the Disney Channel series "Kids Incorporated."
But you may know her better now as Fergie, the singer, songwriter, rapper, fashion designer, actress and member of The Black Eyed Peas.

You can count on everything being great at The Black Eyed Pea. If you ever have an issue you can count on Jason to take care of it.
Horrible Service! – This was our 1st time eating here. The visit started off good. Fried green tomatoes were awesome! My son ordered pizza and when all of our food came our server brought spaghetti, I called this to her attention and she said someone else pulled the wrong thing and she would be right back. After 15 minutes his pizza finally came as the rest of us were finishing eating! She never apologized for this! When we received out bill we were charged for both the spaghetti & the pizza. I told her there was a mistake on our ticket and we did not order any spaghetti & I felt we should not have to pay for the pizza since by the time it finally came our son was full from eating off of everyone else's plates. She walked away & returned with a new bill that STILL included the spaghetti! I asked to speak to a manager as her attitude was getting worse by the second & I was informed that he was the only manager on duty & he was cooking so it may be awhile before he was able to come out. I think this whole situation could have been better if she would have acknowledged her mistake and apologized! Will never go back!
Great experience – We've eaten here three times and each time the food has been great and the service has been very friendly. The prices are reasonable and we have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We will definitely go back!
This is what HOME style means – I absolutely love this place! I've been going for years now, and even with all of the new options in town I always find myself coming back. Most of the servers, bartenders, and managers have been there for years and know me by name and order! They always make me feel so welcome, and do everything to give me a great experience! The food is so good that even the employes eat there daily. Defintely try it out.
Poor Service, Marginal Food – The service is really not poor, it's horrible. The idiot behind the bar actually lost my debit card, I didn't notice it at the time; I went back and he said, "I gave it back to you".
No he did not, I would have had it in my wallet when I went to my next destination to use it 15 minutes later.
I would serve the food to my dog, that's about it.
You get better service at the local McDonalds.
Steady Decline – My husband and I used to love the place when we were first dating. We hate it now. The service is bad and the food isnt as good. I have fond memories. Even the brunch has gone to the dogs. With all the restaurants and development popping up in hendersonville they had better get their acts together before they find even more empty tables and booths then they are seeing now!
I wouldn't go back – I ate at Black Eyed Pea once, and I wouldn't go back. I am not a picky eater, but there wasn't anything on the menu that caught my eye. I ended up getting Shepherd's Pie, which was o.k. The service was very slow. The place was not busy at all, but it took forever for the waitress to bring our drinks and appetizer. When we finally got our appetizer, our dinner arrived literally 30 seconds later.
Terrible Service, okay food – This past Sunday was our last visit to the Black Eyed Pea. The brunch is ok but the service has declined to such an unfriendly atmosphere that we feel more like an imposition than welcomed guests. Waiting for utensils just to butter our bread - or a simple plate on which to place the bread has become a common occurance. Ketchup is no longer offered - we have to request it only to receive an empty bottle followed by an additional request for another bottle, which is almost as empty as the first. This past Sunday, our waitress never cracked a smile, nor engaged us in any conversation - period. Our little girl spilled her drink. Her assistance included dumping the spill onto the floor and making us wait for several minutes for someone to clean up spill, which was right at our feet. Instead of replacing our napkins with the customary dinner napkins, we were given cocktail napkins to use...and I had to ask for this. She treated us as if she was doing US a favor by simply waiting on us.With the stiff competition just around the corner, the management either needs to get a clue or prepare to close it's doors. O'Charley's, Cheddars, etal are all too happy to take our money and offer great service in return.
Poor service. – I was stopping in to have the Pea Signature Salad with broiled chicken once a week which was my favorite of all green salads. Lately an older woman with a very stern look has been my server who usually answers my questions with a very short quip. She only comes by to check on me at the end of my meal when she delivers the check. By that time I've been without drink for quite a long time. Also, I've noticed that every time I eat a salad that she has served, my stomach becomes upset with some digestive problem. There was a time when I stopped in for another Pea Signature Salad with broiled chicken during this period which was served by a very nice young lady that gave excellent service and I experienced no health problems. I haven't eaten in this restaurant in several weeks and have had no more digestive problems.
Gone down hill – A year ago I'd have told you this was one of the best places to eat. The menu had something for everyone, they made the items fresh and onsite, the staff was friendly and efficient and the portions left you more than satiated.
What a difference a year makes.
We ordered beverages (water & tea), stipulating "no lemon" and yet the server brought a cup of lemons, "in case we changed our minds". One might find that "thoughtful", unless one realized that those who request NO lemon do so because they don't like even the smell...
As the drinks were delivered, the server asked for our dinner order and we asked if we could order the spinach dip appetizer, which arrived cold and watery. An apologetic manager promptly brought a new one but it was no better. He stated that they were having trouble with the microwave and how they didn't make it there, etc. I thought it was made fresh and onsite.
All entrees were delivered hot and fresh and were quite satisfactory, but the portions have very, very obviously been reduced. Literally in the middle of our meal, our server stopped by and asked if we wanted any To Go boxes.
We quickly finished, asked for boxes and he then left the check. Our guest asked if we were being kicked out, another asked if we were allowed to order dessert and the server quickly rattled down the list.
I asked about the "Sugar Free Cheesecake" on the menu and he said if was "No Sugar Added", I'm not sure of the difference. He asked what kind of topping we wanted. I said that if we had topping, it wouldn't be Sugar Free any more. We also ordered two Cobblers.
The "Sugar Free" Cheesecake tasted very nice, but the crust was a crumbly dust. The Cobblers, were more disappointment, especially since they are usually a house specialty, with a crust (cobbler)that was not much more than undercooked pot-pie crust, and rather gross.
Don't look for me at this place any time soon, I'll probably be at Cheddar's.

In theory, everyone wears shoes, or at least should. You've undoubtedly heard the popular saying "No shoes, no shirt, no service." But what if those shoes happen to be uncomfortable? Are there loopholes around this rule? Generally speaking, no, there aren't. However, shoe inserts may offer some sort of assistance in this area. As many choose style over comfort when it comes to shoes, shoe inserts are becoming increasingly popular, leading to the question: are shoe inserts being overprescribed?

Common Gym Injuries and How to Avoid Them
New Year, new...muscle strain? If you're spending more time working out indoors, abide by these expert tips to stay in shape and off the DL.
When it comes to workout resolutions, the New Year can be like a starting flag at a NASCAR race. For some, the urgency to tackle new goals brings them to the gym with an intense focus on results. Unfortunately, that zeal can also lead to injuries for those who are new to the gym or those who aren't prepared to take on an ambitious routine. Pete McCall, exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise, says avoiding such a setback is all about proper warm-up and technique. "A lot of it has to do with preparing body to be active," he says. Here, McCall shares his tips on which injuries are most common and how to prevent them.

Our previous postmortem study of girls with Rett Syndrome (RTT), a development disorder caused by MECP2 mutations, found increases in the density of N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the prefrontal cortex of 2-8-year-old girls, whereas girls older than 10 years had reductions in NMDA receptors compared with age-matched controls (Blue et al., Ann Neurol 1999b;45:541-545). Using [(3)H]-CGP to label NMDA-type glutamate receptors in 2- and 7-week old wild-type (WT), Mecp2-null, and Mecp2-heterozygous (HET) mice (Bird model), we found that frontal areas of the brain also exhibited a bimodal pattern in NMDA expression, with increased densities of NMDA receptors in Mecp2-null mice at 2 weeks of age but decreased densities at 7 weeks of age. Visual cortex showed a similar pattern, while other cortical regions only exhibited changes in NMDA receptor densities at 2 weeks (retrosplenial granular) or 7 weeks (somatosensory). In thalamus of null mice, NMDA receptors were increased at 2 and 7 weeks. No significant differences in density were found between HET and WT mice at both ages. Western blots for NMDAR1 expression in frontal brain showed higher levels of expression in Mecp2-null mice at 2 weeks of age but not at 1 or 7 weeks of age. Our mouse data support the notion that deficient MeCP2 function is the primary cause of the NMDA receptor changes we observed in RTT. Furthermore, the findings of regional and temporal differences in NMDA expression illustrate the importance of age and brain region in evaluating different genotypes of mice.

«The wedding guests»
"'A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and
the two shall become one flesh.' This is a great mystery, but I speak
in reference to Christ and the church" (Ep 5,31-32). This quotation from
the Letter to the Ephesians... compares the spousal character of the
love between man and woman to the mystery of Christ and of the Church.
Christ is the Bridegroom of the Church - the Church is the Bride of
Christ. This analogy is not without precedent; it transfers to the New
Testament what was already contained in the Old Testament, especially in
the prophets Hosea, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Isaiah.48 (Hos 1,2; 2,16-18;
Jr 2,2; Ez 16,8; Is 50,1; 54,5-8)... In these prophets the woman-bride
is Israel, God's Chosen People, and this choice originates exclusively
in God's gratuitous love. It is precisely this love which explains the
Covenant, a Covenant often presented as a marriage covenant which God
always renews with his Chosen People. On the part of God the Covenant is
a lasting "commitment"; he remains faithful to his spousal love even if
the bride often shows herself to be unfaithful.
This image of spousal love, together with the figure of the divine Bridegroom - a very clear image in the texts of the Prophets - finds crowning confirmation in the Letter to the Ephesians... where the fullest expression of the truth about Christ the Redeemer's love, according to the analogy of spousal love in marriage, is found: "Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her" (5:25), thereby fully confirming the fact that the Church is the bride of Christ: "The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer" (Is 54:5). In Saint Paul's text the analogy of the spousal relationship moves simultaneously in two directions which make up the whole of the "great mystery" ("sacramentum magnum"). The covenant proper to spouses "explains" the spousal character of the union of Christ with the Church, and in its turn this union, as a "great sacrament", determines the sacramentality of marriage as a holy covenant between the two spouses, man and woman.

They are fearless up at the Griffith Observatory.
The Mayan calendar predicts the world will end on midnight of December 21.
The Observatory normally closes at 10 p.m. but it will remain open an extra 121 minutes on Dec. 21 until 12:01 a.m. Dec. 22 to see what's what.
The plan's to show that there's no celestial mishegas that will ruin us when the clock strikes midnight.
The observatory will offer extra shows in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium at 9:45 and 10:45 p.m.
Many are expected at 2800 East Observatory Road in Los Feliz.
Access roads will close as soon as the lot is full and no later than 10 p.m.
For more information, visit www.griffithobservatory.org.

And then lick it off...
"This weekend, take her to the grocery store to buy ingredients for a great dinner. Also pick up food specifically earmarked as body paint."
Just as a final warning, no food at a grocery store is specifically earmarked as body paint. In fact, if you look on a bottle of Hershey's Syrup, there's an FDA warning that says, "For Oral Ingestion Only. This Product Is Not Intended to Revitalize Your Sex Life, Whatever Men's Health and Cosmopolitan Say About It Every Month." Or at least, there should be.

Are you really sticking with the whole "spreading the article across 8 pages" thing? It's a pain.
it truly is. 3 pages is my max for this series. please, stop with the 8 pages.
I was kind of thinking that as I moved through the tabs. I believe I gave up after 3 as well.
Ditto. I'd stopped reading "the Week in Sex" articles because of this already. It's way easier to scroll (especially if you're using a 3G connection, it takes a second for everything to load, having to wait for 8 separate loads for a single article is not worth it).
Please, please, come to 2011 with us and make it one page.
please please??
another vote for one page
yes, please!
1 page please :)
Yes please, one page!
yes using this 8-pages to boost your hits is shameless and ugly
my internet connection is a bit tricky and it's way more difficult to load 8 pages then say... 1
but of course you can both charge more for and fit more ads at the top with multiple pages as opposed to 1

How about Zero Pages? Save some electrons.
1 page because my computer lets me scroll.
1 page because I freaking SAY SO.
As a savvy modern consumer, I am offended by your attempts to make it look to your advertisers as though I am more deeply interested in your site than I actually am, and now have decided not to read this article. I expect more bang for my pageview!
Sorry it's bugging you guys so much, but give me a little credit! I actually changed the format of this piece because I thought it was a better reader experience - and it gave us the chance to stick in more images from the magazines.
Pageviews really didn't come into it (although, I must admit, I do enjoy the luscious millions that your every click brings me! )
Here's the thing.. if i wanted to see the pretty pictures from the magazine, I'd go out and buy the bloody magazine, friend.
Oh hey - you might be interested to know that you can use more than on IMG tag on the same page!
I liked the content, although I agree that the other format is better.
oh shut up and click a button!
Watch this clip, Louis CK is talking about all the people above me.
THANK YOU Alex! What a bunch of entitled whiners above. Wah, I don't wanna click thru 8 pages, wah! Sheesh people.
I was thinking the same thing! What a bunch of self-important brats! I enjoyed the format of the article. And to tell you the truth, I probably wouldn't have read the whole thing if it was just another boring column of text like what you can find on every other friggin' site out there.
I guess the "milking pageviews" thing is sort-of, maybe a valid complaint to some paranoid lunatics who think that every time they have to see an ad Satan bangs their grandmother in Hell, but every single browser that's worth its weight in code has some kind of ad-block extension. I didn't see a single ad although Nerve probably made the same amount of ad revenue off my visit, which is what's known as a win-win situation. I don't know where these whining morons found a "lose" in there.
You could appease the complainers by using JS or Flash to have the 8 pages on one html page, but then they would complain about whichever new block of code you would have to introduce to the page. Just ignore the self-aggrandized loons. They're just looking to complain about anything and everything.
Uh, no, the pages really are a pain in the a**. It's like trying to read a magazine, but every paragraph is on it's own page, and it takes 15 seconds to flip the page over. This is one of those times where new technology is less convenient than the old. If you want it to be a slideshow, embed a real slideshow.
If these articles were longer and more text were on each page, then I wouldn't have a problem with the different pages. But when it takes more time for the next page to load than to absorb the content on that page, it seems a little ridiculous.
Any man who cannot find a woman's ass through a cotton nightie should return his testicles.
Agreed about too many pages here. I like to read this at work while I eat my lunch! Sometimes I have pizza and I look for articles with minimal clicking to enjoy as I consume my tasty pizza! Are you trying to force me to get my mouse greasy?
Ha! This is probably the funniest one yet. Page 5. Good stuff.
WTF is with food and sex and these magazines? I blame them for my high school boyfriend trying to insert a tangerine segment into my lady parts. I smacked it away and asked him why he loved giving me yeast infections. He was horridly embarrassed. Why is this lie still perpetuated? Food and sex can be sexy if it is something that spontaneously evolves and is something you feel into at the moment. Otherwise, you get tangerine pussy.
Best Nerve comment in ages.
Hah tangerine pussy
Thank god they got PhDs to throw their weigh behind such tips as "greet your man wearing nothing but pigtails and his favorite baseball hat"
So I'll confess, I actually bought and read some of this months Cosmo. I swear, the tips from the PhD people are 20x sketchier than the random anecdotal stuff...
super annoying
Page 5 is absurd. I'll be the annoying person you all might think is a prude, and say that no SANE woman is worried about what she's wearing to bed to SLEEP in. If I wanna seduce my man, I can wear lacy underwear and a cute see-through bra, or nothing at all, just to leave it at that. But if we're just going to sleep, we have work or classes in the morning, whatever, then we're not gonna be worried about sexy-time, and I'm not wearing a bra and lacy number to bed. I'm gonna wear a tank top and shorts to bed, and if he's in the mood, which won't be HARD to tell, then we'll go from there. Sex doesn't always have to be planned or premeditated. In my opinion, spontaneous is much better. I don't want to have to worry about how cute I look going to bed. Chances are, if the guy is in bed with you, he already finds you attractive, and you don't NEED to go any further.
How demoralizing is it to have these lines spewed at women? Oh yes, if you wear a cotton nightgown, you are doomed to fail. That's such an insult to womens' independence altogether. If a guy breaks up with you over a cotton nightgown, you're better off without him anyway.
And by the way, STOP BEING LAZY you twats! It's 8 pages. You CLEARLY have all the time in the world if you're on this page. Stop complaining about the 8 pages. If you happened upon this page, you either WANTED to read this or you're desperate enough that you need help. Read the 8 pages, and learn something from it. I know I did; not all men really are men. Quit being babies and read the damn article.
what an ashole
asssssshole - sorry
Fuck off with the 8 pages, im not an idiot, i know u do it to maximize your web hits. Lame.
Saw 8 pages and didn't bother staying....like it or not, lazy or not, this is the reality. 3 paragraphs??? no thanks
And yet you 'bothered' to write a reply in the comments. Irony, party of one, your table is ready. Uh-May-Zing.
we are expressing our disgruntlement as readers! we assume Nerve wants us to have the best internet b.s. article reading experience EVER so we assume perhaps they will hear our CRIES!
This is meant to be a gallery... so perhaps it is the design that is not communicating this, which is a good thing to know.
But the pictures in galleries are usually more interesting. Not tryin' to hate, but you really aren't communicating that experience at all. I like this feature a lot! Just not when it's formatted this way. I think it works fine with the other features you use it on.
I can only speak from experience: on a cold winter's night in Massachusetts, with the snowy wind howling outside your dorm window, seeing a young woman you love in a Lanz flannel nightgown can be plenty exciting. More so than some tawdry push-up polyester teddie from Victoria's Secret, let me tell you.
Men's Health gave the worst advice ever. Scary bad.
I guess I'll be the only person to say I liked having it in 8 pages.
I stopped @ page 4.
Cosmopolitan has been ruining relationships between men and women for about 50 years.,
It really is completely absurd, the shit they preach.
Cosmo advice in a nutshell:
Flirt with other people
Use your tongue (But not for talking!)
Grab his junk in public
Wander around naked
I liked having it in 8 pages as well. Quit bitching. Christ.
same like the format now w 8 pages
What's good about these is your writing, not their stupid trite pictures. The excessive clicking (yes, it IS arduous--so what, I'm lazy and have a slow-ass computer) through the pix just slow things down from reaching the "pleasure point" that are your words. Now excuse me as I must find the source of that buzzing noise I hear...
google personal blocklist.
Use it, and destroy these "spread content thinly over 8 pages" motherfuckers.
Intentionally ruin my browsing experience to make a quick buck?
You don't get a second chance. :)
Whatever Men's Health, I just sleep naked and call it good.
And I thought I was the sensible one. Thanks for setting me starihgt.
NIcedF Left on my site a link to this post. I think many people will be interested in it!!!
eczMfu I subscribed to RSS, but for some reason, the messages are written in the form of some hieroglyph (How can it be corrected???

Received the letter. I agree to exchange the articlesss
Are you interested in webmaster`s income???
Stupid article!!!
Scribbler, give me a student's record-book!)))
A lot of this advice is ridiculous, but the spirit of sexual aggressiveness and adventurousness that these magazines extol is healthy. Why shouldn't a woman surreptitiously cop a feel in public, or lick her man's ear and blow on it? I'm all for that and so should anyone with a healthy sexuality.
"Ew, that's icky! It's not respectful!" That's basically what I'm hearing as the subtext of your ridicule.
Let's face it, grown-ups.... we're basically a bunch of monkeys with a higher reasoning module. Good sex is largely a matter of getting in touch with that inner monkey. You have to tear the thinking cap off and fuck like an animal. Try it.
I'm not defending these supermarket checkout rags... and a lot of this stuff is preposterous... but if you want to improve your sex life you really ought to push the boundaries and get in touch with your inner freak. I speak from experience... I was tentative and sheepish for years. Now I'm not, and my girlfiend and I are having two hour romps every single day, and still can't seem to get enough of each other.
Your ridicule is funny and often very well-aimed, but it also strikes me as more than a little repressed... I know you're going to be incensed by my saying so, but I have the strong intuition that you're having boring sex, and at some level you know it and resent it.
